US 11,689,381 B1 · Meeting inclusion and hybrid workplace insights

Abstract

The disclosure herein describes a system for calculating meeting inclusion metrics including insights and recommendations. Meeting data associated with one or more meetings attended by at least one participant remotely is converted into anonymized meeting data for inclusivity metric analysis. An inclusivity insights manager generates inclusivity metrics associated with inclusive behavior and language occurring during meetings to measure the level of inclusivity. The inclusivity metrics include attendee participation metrics measuring an amount of participation by each meeting attendee, participation in-person versus participation remotely, concurrent speech indicating attendees may be talking over one another or other interruptions occurring during meetings. Inclusivity metric data includes insights and actionable recommendations to improve inclusivity at future meetings provided at an individual level, group level or organizational level. The inclusivity insights can also include percentage metric values, graphs, feedback, and other metric-related information for improving participation by meeting attendees.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a data storage device storing meeting data associated with a plurality of meetings, the meeting data comprising at least one of meeting audio data associated with at least one meeting in the plurality of meetings and a transcript of the meeting audio data;
a processing system comprising a processor communicatively coupled to a memory, the memory comprising an inclusivity insights manager that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
aggregate, by an aggregator implemented on the inclusivity insights manager, the meeting audio data for a threshold minimum number of meetings having a threshold minimum number of participants of the plurality of meetings;
analyze the aggregated meeting data using an inclusivity metric for measuring a level of inclusivity associated with a plurality of participants attending a meeting in the plurality of meetings;
and
calculate an inclusivity metric value associated with the inclusivity metric, the inclusivity metric value comprising at least one of an inclusivity insight and an actionable recommendation;
and
a communications interface that transmits the calculated inclusivity metric value to a user device, the user device including a user interface device to present the inclusivity metric value.

A non-transitory computer readable storage devices having computer-executable instructions that, upon execution by a processor, cause the processor to:

aggregate, by an aggregator implemented on an inclusivity insights manager, meeting data associated with a plurality of meetings attended by a plurality of participants for a threshold minimum number of meetings having a threshold minimum number of participants of the plurality of meetings, the meeting data comprising audio data of the plurality of meetings or a transcript of the audio data of the plurality of meetings;
analyze, by the inclusivity insights manager, the aggregated meeting data using an inclusivity metric for evaluating meeting inclusion associated with a plurality of participants attending a configurable number of meetings;
calculate, by the inclusivity insights manager, an inclusivity metric value using the meeting data and the inclusivity metric, the inclusivity metric value comprising a score indicating a level of inclusivity associated with a configurable number of meetings in the plurality of meetings;
and
transmit, via a communications interface, the calculated inclusivity metric value to a user interface device to present the inclusivity metric value.
